NOTE THAT: APH and OHSE students already had a 1hr induction with my during induction week. However we are looking at largely different resources today. I also hope that they can answer some of my questions quickly from their prior learning!!

STUDENTS ALL FOLLOW THIS PATH NOW NOTE THAT: Their guide is called Public Health, Risk, Safety &amp; Environment

BSOL – Note that we have 50 spaces free, if anyone wants to add any more. BEFORE next slide, ask students: Can tell me some key features of journals? Why is it important to use them?

GIVE STUDENTS 1-2 MINUTES TO DISCUSS THE TASK IN PAIRS. TAKE FEEDBACK.

POINT OUT THAT: Some databases will not provide direct access to full-text articles, but will still let you know about important articles on your subject – we’ll cover this later... ASK BEFORE NEXT SLIDE: Does anyone know what peer reviewed means?

If you want to show an example of a peer reviewed journal, put up the website for the journal PLOS One: http://www.plosone.org/static/information;jsessionid=76EECD099008A3E565A9BABA1162E749

ARE THE ARTICLES IN THESE DATABASES PEER REVIEWED? SCIENCE CITATION INDEX (WEB OF SCIENCE) – All journals are peer reviewed, see: http://wokinfo.com/publisher_relations/journals/ SCIENCE DIRECT - All journals are peer reviewed (It tells you at the top of the home page) MEDLINE – All journals go through a rigorous selection process before being accepted for the database.
